Weight Management & Environmental Influences

Achieving and maintaining healthy lifestyle behaviors including activity and food intake can help weight management by helping to prevent weight gain. Prevention of weight gain and achieving modest amounts of weight loss can improve overall health.

In today's society, the environment is conducive to less activity than previous decades, more food availability in larger quantities, and higher caloric density. Therefore, concentrating on factors to limit the environmental influences is critical if we are to prevent overweight and obesity. It is also important that dietitians and other health care providers be in the forefront of lobbying for public health policy, third party reimbursement for weight loss treatment and weight management, and adequate community resources to address weight status and weight-related illness.
